Feature Request: scrollIntoViewOptions prop for overlay components

[christian-byrne]

Hello, I am building https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI which uses an infinite canvas. In applications with custom scroll handling (infinite canvas, virtual scrolling), PrimeVue overlay components' scrollIntoView behavior causes unwanted horizontal scrolling. The scroll position in these apps has special meaning which makes it difficult when it is modified by UI components.

What about a scrollIntoViewOptions prop on overlay components?

scrollIntoViewOptions?: ScrollIntoViewOptions | false

This would allow developers to customize or disable the scrollIntoView behavior when needed, while preserving the current default behavior for accessibility.

Alternatives I considered:

• Monkey-patching Element.prototype.scrollIntoView (works but not ideal)
• Wrapper components for each PrimeVue component (maintenance burden)
• Using autoOptionFocus: false (doesn't prevent the scrollIntoView call)

Additional context

I understand this is a niche use case and the current behavior is important for keyboard accessibility. This prop would be rarely used but would provide an escape hatch for applications with special scroll handling requirements.

Affected components: Select, MultiSelect, TreeSelect, AutoComplete, CascadeSelect, ContextMenu, TieredMenu, Menubar, MegaMenu, PanelMenu
